Frequently asked questions
What is a holiday let mortgage?
A holiday let mortgage is a specialist mortgage for properties rented short term to holidaymakers. It differs from residential and buy-to-let mortgages by assessing affordability on projected holiday income, applying seasonal stress testing, typically requiring higher deposits, and allowing limited personal use only where lender criteria permit.
What is the interest rate for a holiday let mortgage?
Holiday let mortgage interest rates typically start from around 4.75% at 75% loan-to-value for standard residential holiday lets, depending on lender, property type, and fees. Rates are usually slightly higher than buy-to-let mortgages due to specialist underwriting, while commercial holiday lets are priced at higher commercial mortgage rates.
What is the minimum deposit for a holiday let mortgage?
The minimum deposit for a holiday let mortgage is usually 20%, available with a limited number of specialist lenders. Most holiday let mortgages require a 25% deposit, which provides wider lender choice and better pricing, while more complex or restricted properties may require higher deposits.
What makes a holiday let "restricted"?
A holiday let is restricted where planning conditions, a lease, or title covenants limit it to holiday use only, prevent permanent residence, impose seasonal occupancy limits, or tie its use to a holiday park, lodge site, or managed scheme.
Can I convert a barn into a holiday let?
Barns can be converted into holiday lets with suitable consent, financed on completion by a holiday-let mortgage on projected letting income. Some Class Q and planning consents restrict use, which is checked first.
